The police went down in the locations of DFW Tuesday in a one -year investigation into Thc sales.
The Allen Police Service, with the help of the DEA, seized products in three warehouses in Dallas, while other agencies have made a descent into the owners’ houses in Carrollton, Colleryville and Plano.
The Allen police chief took the crew of CBS News Texas in one of the warehouses while the police withdrew from the shelves.
According to the first estimates of Allen PD, investigators seized more than 75,000 pounds of THC products and 7 million dollars in cash and active in Tuesday raids.
Chef Steve Dye said that warehouse raids are the product of an investigation that started over a year ago with infiltration purchases in Allen stores. THE I-Team documented how the drug unit of the Allen police department bought and tested the items before Raids in nine stores last August. Investigators said illegal products found in Allen are provided by Dallas warehouses.
“You no longer have to go to your drug trafficker to buy drugs,” said Dye. “You can go to a vaping store at any corner.”
He thinks that the products found on store shelves are more dangerous than illegal drugs because Dye said the false feeling of security has led to an explosion used.

“It has just harassed constantly for our customers,” said David Sergi.
Sergi represents Monster Smoke Wholesale, one of the police targeted by the police.
“As far as I know, to my knowledge, they have analysis certificates for each product they sell,” said Sergi. “They spent a lot of money for compliance.”
The raids took place while Governor Greg Abbott weighs the future of Bill 3 of the Senate, which prohibits THC quite. The I-Team interviewed Dye at the time of the raids and the political pressure on Abbott.
“This operation has been planned for months,” he said, adding: “Timing is what it is.”
Despite this, Dye left the warehouse and headed directly to Austin, where he said he was planning to meet the Governor’s staff about the bill.
Abbott refused to say a lot about SB3 or his intentions for the bill. He has until June 22 to sign or oppose his veto to the bill. If neither does not occur, he will become the law even without his signature.
